Hills, U.S. trade representative, the agreement represents a welcome advance in the relations between the United States and the U.S.S.R. They praised the negotiators’ work and said the accord “is a real contribution to both countries that will enlarge market opportunities for America’s farmers who are supercompetitive.” The Soviet Union will have some greater flexibility than in the 1989 agreement in choosing between wheat and feedgrains on a year-to-year basis; however, over the life of the agreement, the minimum amount will be met. The agreement calls for annual purch ases of at least four million metric tons each of wheat and feedgrains. However, in any one year, the Soviet Union can substitute up to 750,000 metric tons of one com modity for the other. Leaders Observe Pa. Ag Day State Rep. Sam Morris, right, is pictured with Gov.
